Central Park East - The Great Lawn - 8:00am

12 hour time-point down, 24 and 36 hours to go :)  Last night was an odd experience.  Went home from work, walked Sofie in the Park - I might add it was a beautiful afternoon - then went to the gym and did a spin class, then came home around 8:15, cooked eggs and broccoli, showered and then.....got dressed and went back to work?  It was a bit surreal - like time was in fast-forward and it was the next day again.  This feeling was added to when I got to lab and it wasn't deserted.  I got there around 9:45pm, then worked until 1:15am.  Luckily a friend from lab was there working on his candidacy exam.  In need of some distraction and conversation he helped me the whole time and really made the job more pleasant.  In the process I learned all about computers and the history of computer science.  I'm supposed to look up Countess Lovelace because apparently she is very interesting.  Either way - evenings like that are nice surprises - you expect to be slogging around the lab all by yourself until 1 in the morning and you end up having a grand old time. 

I'm a bit tired this morning but I think it's mainly because when my alarm went off I was having a pity party for myself that I only slept 5 hours (i.e. not because I'm actually tired).  In exchange for having to do that twice again today, I'm treating myself to Bagelworks this morning instead of making breakfast and coffee for myself.  It's the little things :)

Have an excellent excellent day!!
